Expect it to improve in bottle – although it is hard to resist now – and to be worth following for at least a decade. Arlaud's 2006 Bonnes Mares is – given what has come before it in their collection, and given the nature of this cru – predictably tartly-fruited, penetratingly herbal, shadowed by a high-toned distillate aura, and brash in its palate impact. Flavors of black raspberry, resin, and root beer convey an almost sticky sense of sweetness in the finish, along with a hint of heat. Yet at the same time there is an offsetting faint bitterness, as well as tart pungency. This intense but by no means charming, graceful, or harmonious wine needs time to put itself together, even if settling-down is not likely in the cards. It will be a wild card for cellaring, but has an awfully impressive amount of sheer energy and flavor intensity going for it.
